Guess What This Is...

My son, Josh, got me this for Mother's Day.
Can you guess what this is?
It's a mini Durian cheesecake!

The "thorns" are made of matcha butter icing and the "flesh" is durian cheese cream.

Nice! But a tad too sweet for me. The smell? Well, durian is durian!

Real Durians
Haha!  Watch this cat's reaction to durians.

    I've seen this fruit before. I've never tried it though.

    I loved the cat. I laughed out loud. I also linked this post to Feline Friday.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥

    I knew what it was instantly, because I have lived in SE Asia, and eaten a lot of smelly Durian fruits in my day. What a wonderful looking cake. I hope it tasted great. :D

    I had to google it as I've never heard of them and now I know why they've never been seen in our local supermarket! They are very pretty looking though and that dessert is beautiful

    I remember being at high school and my teacher had been travelling and she told us all about the durian fruit. I have yet to try it myself. Sarah #FabFridayPost

    That looks like a wonderful cheesecake. I've heard of the way Durian smells though --- poor cat!

    Duriaaaaaan! My hubby loves it so much but I can't take it anymore. It's just too strong for me. And to think that I'm coming from Lampung, Sumatra, which produces one of the best durian kampong back home!

    Amazing! We lived in Japan for a couple of years so I'm quite familiar with durian - don't like them though! Hope you enjoyed the cheesecake #KCACOLS

    Brilliant looking cake! I recognised it straight away in the thumbnail - that's why I swung by. I love in Singapore there are signs not to take Durian on trains or elevators. Cracks me up. Poor stinky Durian. #KCACOLS
